IFWXSession interface
Applies to: desktop apps only
The IFWXSession interface is implemented by the Microsoft Firewall service on the session object. The IFWXSession interface is used to attach a data filter to a session and to monitor the session's events.
The session object implements session-specific functions that impersonate the user account, test access control lists (ACLs) against the session user, retrieve information about the client computer, and perform protocol operations.
For more information about how the IFWXSession interface is used in application filters, see Filter Object Model.
Members
The IFWXSession interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IFWXSession also has these types of members:
- Methods
Methods
The IFWXSession interface has these methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| AllowFutureConnect | Allows the session's client to make a secondary outbound connection. |
| AttachFilter | Causes a filter to be loaded for this session, even if the initial event for this filter has not yet happened. If the filter has already attached a session filter for this session, nothing happens. Otherwise, the filter's IFWXFilter::AttachToSession method is called. |
| BindForClient | Binds a set of addresses on behalf of the session's client and creates the required instances of the IFWXConnection interface in preparation for secondary inbound connections. |
| CreateNetworkSocket | Creates a TCP/IP socket that is associated with this session. |
| EmulateClientBind | Allows a client that did not create a remote bind to receive a primary inbound connection. |
| GetAuthenticatedUser | Retrieves an IFWXAuthenticatedUser interface that represents the authenticated user for the session. |
| GetClientAddress | Retrieves the address of the user. |
| GetClientMachineName | Retrieves the name of the client computer, if it is available. The Forefront TMG Client or Firewall Client computer passes the computer name in the request. The name is not available for SecureNAT clients. |
| GetHostByAddr | Retrieves host information corresponding to an address. |
| GetHostByName | Retrieves host information corresponding to a host name. This method is similar to the Winsock gethostbyname function. |
| GetSessionFlags | Retrieves flags that provide information about the session. |
| HostAccessCheck | Checks the permission of the session user to access a specified host, by using the access rules. |
| RedirectConnections | Enables connections by using a local, internal Microsoft Firewall service address. |
| RetroactiveAllowBind | Allows a Forefront TMG Client or Firewall Client computer to receive a secondary inbound connection on a socket that was previously bound by the Forefront TMG Client or Firewall Client computer, but was not necessarily approved by the Microsoft Firewall service. |
| SetDataFilterFactory | Allows a filter to set a data filter factory for events for which the filter is not registered. This method can be used to reduce the number of events for which a filter registers. |
